Abstract

Periodontal diseases are highly prevalent and have a significant impact on the quality of life of large proportions of the population. The pathogenesis is multifactorial and several key risk factors have been identified. Among these, tobacco smoking is the most important known risk factor. Smokers have consistently demonstrated more severe disease, increased tooth loss and inferior responses to treatment.
